I’ve enjoyed Carlton Jackson’s Sunday night show The Message for many years, always beginning the program with Coltrane’s “Naima” and always a thoughtful offering of music and social conscience. RIP.

Fair winds to Carlton Jackson; hosted “The Message” on @KMHD_Jazz_Radio and one hell of a drummer; probably saw him play a hundred times or more.
Man was fire.
Rest well, man.— B. Murphy (@UzielSeraphus) July 6, 2021
